Fasting to Overcome Depression and Food Compulsion - Support/Buddy Wanted

by Mina

Hello everyone:

I am 20 years old and i want to start a water fast tomorrow 18/10/10. I have done one for 4 days 3 months ago but i was not eating much anyway so it was quite easy.

I got depressed after so many bad things happening in my life since then, i am emotionally dependent on food like nothing before. I am not fat but have put on 10kilos this past month.

I can tell i am not like i used to, but i really want to change. It's not about the weight i just want to cleanse my body but more so my mental health.

i believe this will be the first step,it will be very hard but i am determined to do whats best for me and change myself to the better.

Or else i really don't know how much damage i will do to myself if i don't start now.

I haven't really decided yet how long i want to fast but i don't want it to be less than 2 weeks.

I am thinking about writing a diary about everything i am going to experience emotionally.

I would really like to have a buddy and exchange MSN and chat if that would be possible! would be a lifesaver!!!
